Food
 

Puppies are 3 weeks today. At what age/stage do I need to start feeding them and what food will be the best. When can I give them their first bath ? They are sooo cute now !! Sometimes roll on their backs and then battling to get back onto their feet. They rather cry for somebody to help. Special creatures I would say !!

Hi Ina!

Your babies sound absolutley adorable! Can you post any pictures?

Sorry I can't give you any advice on feeding them. I'm sure someone on here will be able to though. There are tons of reputable, knowledgable people on here.

(Wow...did I spell that word right? lol)

Photos ???
 

LOL LOL LOL :D I have got lots of photos but I dont know how to get them on this site ' cause it keeps on telling me it is tooo big and my sons hasn't been home to help me with it. My IT knowledge is questionable ? :confused: (spelling ??? - sorry english not my mother tongue) May be if somebody could help me step by step I will be able to do it. I am not dumb but not very well informed. Tee-hee. :p

Have a splendid day !!

pups
 

I soak the dry puppy food in goats milk. We can buy it is the supermarket.
Make it very milky..more milk the dry at first. If you do not have goat milk you can use regular evaporated milk. I also use baby food meat and mix it with the milk until about 6 weeks...

Thank you
 

Thank you for the idea. u mean normal plain goats milk that some people have to give to their human babies too? Yes, that milk we do get at the supermarket. I've also got Puppy Luv formula from the vet a few months ago because my female (the mom) was a bit too skinny for my liking, so the vet suggested this puppy luv milk but Jessie did not want to drink it. I sound very dumb, but I just wanna to make double sure.

Just also wanna to tell you about my friends' little puppies. 6 of them. They are nearly 6 weeks old now and only weighs +/- 5 ounces. This is VERY TINY !! But they are healthy and she is a good breeder but she says that normally the female give babies that weighs 4 to 5 ounces by birth and now this small batch. She will not sell them for now, cause she says they need special care, although very healthy she still is very cautious. She is thinking of having them sterilised etc before going to their homes one day, cause she is scared that somebody would wanna to breed with them. Unbelievable but true.

Now you would say why dont I ask my questions re the food etc for my friend, but we dont really talk dogs, we talk coffee etc. Also strange but true.
